2013 was nothing less than a blockbuster success for Windows Phone, which went from industry also-ran to the undisputed third mobile ecosystem, and is poised to challenge iPhone for the number two spot. You didn't think it could get this good? That's OK, neither did I.

Windows Phone seemingly turns a corner with every new application, small operating system update, and new Nokia Lumia. It's turning so many corners it's running in circles.

I accept when I make a bad call and invite others to hold me to predictions as well.

Except you haven't because you're still wheeling out the same well-worn 'restricted supply/inventory' story to spin it out even further. "Oh, if only they made more of them and they would lead the market!"

They don't make more because then they have to take $900 million write-downs. Why? They don't sell.
